Yes, the end plates are symmetrical, so the T-handle and quick-release lever can go on the right or left side to suit either end of the bench.
No, it's designed to retrofit an existing bench without major surgery; you mount the plate to the underside and attach the vise mechanism to it.
Maximum travel is 7 3/4", which is enough range for clamping a wide range of workpiece thicknesses without repositioning.
You'll need to supply the wood for a custom jaw sized to match the thickness of your bench skirt; the mounting hardware for the plate and mechanism is included.
The body is ductile iron with zinc-alloy end plates, steel shafts and guide rods, and a maple handle, built for repeated heavy clamping loads.
No, the half nut shouldn't be released while the vise is under load; back off the pressure first, then flip the quick-release lever to release it safely.
